See regular care →Is there a home doctor that covers Joondalup?
Yes. Perth Home GP covers the whole Joondalup area. Our doctors visit patients across Joondalup, Currambine, Kinross and Iluka, along the coastal strip from Burns Beach and Ocean Reef down through Mullaloo and Kallaroo, and inland to Connolly, Heathridge, Beldon, Edgewater, Craigie and Woodvale. Because we come to you, there is no waiting room and no drive while you are unwell.
Joondalup is the north’s own city centre, home to the Lakeside shopping and civic hub, the Edith Cowan University campus, and the busy health precinct that has grown up around the hospital. All of that is a real advantage, but it does not always translate into a quick appointment. The large group practices and St John GP clinics around the centre book out, and for a young family in Currambine or an older resident out at Ocean Reef, simply reaching an open clinic after hours can be the hard part. A home visit closes that gap: the same care you would get from a GP in Joondalup, brought to where you are.
Unlike many telehealth and urgent care services, Perth Home GP is a fully accredited general practice. The doctors who visit are all GP Fellows (FRACGP or FACRRM), providing full GP care at home, seven days a week, in hours as well as after hours. That means we can help with a one off illness or provide regular, ongoing care for someone who finds it hard to leave the house. And because our telehealth is staffed by GPs based here in Perth, they understand the local hospitals, clinics and referral pathways in a way that interstate services often cannot.
Does Joondalup have an emergency department?
Yes. Joondalup Health Campus has an emergency department, and it is one of the busiest in Australia, seeing on average around 295 patients a day, treating both adults and children. The campus is also trialling an after-hours GP service on weeknights, from 5pm to 10pm, excluding public holidays. It is worth understanding how that works before you rely on it: you still present to the emergency department and are triaged first, and new patients are seen from 6pm.
For non-emergencies, St John Urgent Care Joondalup at 21 Joondalup Drive, Edgewater is a walk-in option, open 8am to 9pm every day. Both are good to know about, but both still mean travelling in, and the campus after-hours GP service runs only until 10pm on weeknights. For an illness that needs a GP rather than a hospital, we come to you, day or night and on weekends, which for many Joondalup patients is faster and easier than getting to and waiting at the campus.
Meet the team behind your care
Our team of GPs, together with our practice nurse and geriatrician, provide regular and urgent care through home visits and telehealth, day and night.
What can a home doctor in Joondalup treat?
Because we are a full GP service and not just an urgent care option, our doctors help with much more than one off illnesses. A few examples:
“It’s 9pm in Currambine and my little boy has spiked a fever. I don’t think it’s an emergency, but the thought of sitting in the Joondalup hospital waiting room with a sick, tired child at this hour is more than I can face tonight. Could a doctor come and check him here?”
Yes. Book an after hours home visit and a GP will come to you in Currambine this evening to examine him, work out what is going on, and give you clear advice on what to watch for overnight. Call 1300 815 321.
“My dad in Kallaroo hasn’t been able to drive since his surgery, and getting him to the clinic is a two-person job we can’t always manage. He needs a proper GP review this week. Is there any way a doctor can come to the house instead?”
Yes. Book a daytime home visit and a GP will come to him in Kallaroo, review how his recovery is going, adjust anything that needs it, and sort any scripts on the spot. If he would be better off seeing the same doctor over time rather than just once, we also provide regular, ongoing care at home. Call 1300 815 321.
“I work shifts and I’ve come home sick around midnight near Lakeside, sore throat, aching, the lot. I don’t need anyone to physically examine me, I just want a doctor’s advice and maybe a script. Do I really have to wait until a clinic opens in the morning?”
Not necessarily. For problems that don’t need an in-person examination, a telehealth consult by phone or video can help, and any script is sent straight to your phone. You will also be speaking to a GP based in Perth, not an interstate call centre. Telehealth is bulk billed for eligible patients, including urgent issues after 11pm.

Can I get a prescription filled in Joondalup after hours?
Often you won’t need to chase one. Our doctors carry starter medications for most urgent illnesses, so in many cases they can begin your treatment during the visit and you avoid a trip to the pharmacy altogether. During a night-time home visit, your GP can often give you a starter dose to tide you over until you can get to a pharmacy.
When you do need a script, your GP sends it to your phone as an eScript and you can take it to any pharmacy. Joondalup is well served: around the centre and Lakeside you will find Pharmacy 777 Joondalup, Wizard Pharmacy Joondalup and others, plus the pharmacy at the hospital. Hours change, so if you need a chemist right now a quick online search will show what is open.
Frequently asked
FAQs
How quickly can a doctor come to my house in Joondalup?
It depends on demand at the time, so the best way to get an accurate arrival window is to call. Ring 1300 815 321 with your Joondalup address, and you’ll get a provisional ETA when you call. The visiting GP will then message you with a more accurate arrival time and keep you updated if there’s any delay.
Do you do home visits in Joondalup at night and on weekends?
Yes. Our doctors are available day and night, seven days a week, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. If you need a night doctor in Joondalup for an illness that can’t wait until morning, call 1300 815 321. For anything life-threatening, call 000.
Do you visit Currambine, Mullaloo and Ocean Reef?
Yes, all three, along with the rest of the Joondalup area. Our coverage includes Currambine, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef, Connolly, Kinross, Iluka, Burns Beach, Heathridge, Beldon, Edgewater, Kallaroo, Craigie and Woodvale.
Are home visits in Joondalup bulk billed?
No, home visits have an out of pocket fee, though a Medicare rebate is available to reduce the cost. Telehealth, however, is bulk billed for eligible patients (urgent issues after 11pm and children under 1), and we bulk bill telehealth for all patients for 12 months after a home visit from us. See our fees page for current figures.
Is there a walk-in GP clinic in Joondalup?
There are established medical centres around Joondalup that take bookings and, in some cases, walk-ins, and Joondalup Health Campus runs a limited after-hours GP service on weeknights, though for that you present to the emergency department and are triaged first. Perth Home GP does not run a clinic: instead of a waiting room, we come to you, at home, day or night. If you would prefer to be seen without leaving the house, call 1300 815 321.
Is there an urgent care clinic in Joondalup?
If you think you might be having an emergency, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, call 000 for an ambulance. The nearest emergency department is Joondalup Health Campus, which sees both adults and children. For non-emergencies, St John Urgent Care Joondalup at 21 Joondalup Drive, Edgewater is a walk-in option, open 8am to 9pm every day. Our own alternative is to come to you: an after hours home visit or telehealth is often faster than a waiting room.
Is there a late-night pharmacy in Joondalup?
Several Joondalup pharmacies open late, and a quick online search will show current opening hours. Around the centre and Lakeside you will find Pharmacy 777, Wizard Pharmacy and others, plus the pharmacy at the hospital. Any script your GP issues is sent to your phone as an eScript, so you can use whichever pharmacy suits. For urgent issues, our GPs can often give you a starter dose during a home visit to tide you over until you can get to a pharmacy.
